From the Principal’s Corner:

The 2008-2009 school year is quickly coming to a close.  As it does, it is fun to sit back and reminisce on some of the fantastic accomplishments and activities of the year. Some of them are listed below:

• Our students in grades 2 – 5 participated in 11 club opportunities throughout the year 
• Each student was given an interest survey which helped determine which clusters would be offered to students this year. Then, 100% of our students participated in an interest based enrichment cluster
• Each classroom was read to by a community member during our Camp Read-a-lot week
• Each classroom had a community member visit their classroom to share their expertise on a curriculum related topic
• We hosted a Board of Education meeting at Bernabi where the Board had a conversation about Bernabi’s goals for the year
• Bernabi piloted two programs for students with disabilities for the district Integrated Co-Teacher and Resource Room
